RAVEN
The most important of all creatures to the Northwest coast Native peoples was the Raven.
He took many forms to many peoples -- the Transformer, the cultural hero, the trickster, the Big Man.
Full of magical powers, the Raven could transform himself into anything.
He put the sun in the sky, the fish in the sea, the salmon into the rivers.
His antics were often motivated by greed, and he loved to tease, to cheat, to woo, and to trick.
BOMA
The Haida carvings in argillite are some of the finest presentations of totemic art. These reproductions are well made from original work in Canada, made in a natural resin composite with the heft and finish of the originals. These museum quality reproductions of the older work are available in a range of styles that can be more casually displayed so that the art can be enjoyed on an everyday basis.
